24/09/2019 - Manchester Metrolink: Trafford Park Extension, Sir Alex Ferguson Way, Trafford Park - Proposed Prohibition of Driving ref: 839    Recommendations Approved

The introduction of a tram stop alongside the Manchester Ship Canal, on the northern side of Trafford Wharf Road, has resulted in part of Trafford Wharf Road being closed to vehicular traffic, and all through traffic being re-routed along Sir Alex Ferguson Way. However, to overcome delays that may have resulted at the Wharfside Way/Sir Matt Busby Way/Sir AlexFerguson Way junction, Victoria Place was re-opened to through traffic, and direct access to

the previously mentioned junction was prohibited. The left turn from Wharfside Way, eastbound, was retained but the right turn from the slip road to Victoria Place was prohibited.

 

The amended junction opened to traffic in May 2018, but observations soon indicated that a significant number of motorists were contravening the right turn prohibition, thereby introducing conflicts between vehicular traffic and pedestrians/cyclists using the new ‘toucan’ crossing facility. It is considered that motorists contravening the right turn prohibition do so to avoid congestion at White City Circle.
